I was wondering if i really need this thing. I basically want to monitor the condition of the car via laptop and an obd2 to serial cable. Will it work alone or the vct2000 is necessary? If it is necessary is there anything cheaper in the market? Because vct2000 costs sevaral thousand $$$$ and i am not rich!

 

You will need the VCT2000 or soemthing like that.
I will try to find out what company makes the one we use.

 

I have autotap setup on my laptop that I bought with all the ford codes for my 1998 mustang. I use it on my Mazda Protege5 but doesn't get the enhanced codes. Did the same on the 2004 S60 wife had & expect the S40 to be same, just basic monitoring & DTC code retrieval/clearing. It has a recording function where you can drive around & save readings. It does text spreadsheet or dash mode with analog or digital gauges. It hooks up USB but they have serial & others. Is this what the vct thing does?

 

Pretty much the same thing. But the VCT 2000 will also let you activate things,Perform fuel tank tests ETC.

 

ie the price difference........autotap about 200.00

 

It still sounds pretty good. I wish I could see it work.

 

Found this on ebay, has links to free software to go with it....................http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ELM32...06459567QQrdZ1

 

Looks pretty good but the $100,000 quiestion is how good it works.

 

not in ebay,there are many b2b website ,why not find in these platform ?such as alibaba,made-in-china ,there are many company sell these products
